Origin/meaning

Mragowo's old German name was Sensburg, or scythe's town. The bear's claw is derived from the legend related to the name. Once a bear threatened the people in the area. They hunted the bear and cut off its paw with a scythe. Hence the name of the town and the claw in the arms. The bear fled and was finally killed in Rastenburg (present Kętrzyn), hence a bear in the arms of Kętrzyn.
